Staggered how this company is still in business, our initial interaction with Mark was fantastic and we had a date confirmed of the 26th August to start work, this was tied into our build and worked perfectly.
Whilst our builder was away another guy came and said the floor wasn't good enough and he needed to speak to our builder, who called and spoke to him whilst he was on his holiday. Our builder even arranged for him to come back when he was back from hols so he could confirm what was needed and he could do it. The guy from Gainsborough never returned!!!
